Saturday, April 21. U.S. Mexico Border FTAA Protest. There were a great

many young people present at this march and rally, and they possessed a

real understanding of the issues at stake. One could talk to just about

anyone and find a sophisticated, well thought out opinion. University and

High School Students had come from all over California to participate in

the protest. These young people possessed a certain zeal regarding their

opposition to Sweat Shops and the ruin NAFTA and other pro-Capitalist

treaties have wrought. Their comprehension of and abhorrence to the Free

Trade Area of the Americas act was striking. It was obvious that for many,

the protest was not a "one shot deal." These young people have chosen the

Activist lifestyle and are in it for the long haul.
